Hi, I recently bought my first MB. As you all know, going to your local dealership to buy OEM parts and accessories often means you're paying through the nose.

With prior cars, I've always found that there are a few dealerships in the country that are very well known for selling OEM parts and accessories at greatly discounted parts. For example, everyone in the Nissan/Infiniti community knew to buy from CourtesyParts in Dallas, and for BMW parts, I'd go to Pacific BMW's internet department.

Is there an equivalent dealership or source for Mercedes Parts? There are a lot of places that sell MB parts online, but is there a "go-to" place that you can consistently count on to have good prices and service?

Thanks!

RMEuropean and AutohausAZ come to mind. Personally I use RM the most. Very good customer service and so far they've been 100% accurate with my orders.

Plenty of sources, apart from slammer's suggestions,
there are FCP euro, ECS tuning (these two order from a dealer then ship to you), parts dot com (this one works directly with dealers so you get OEM parts shipped from a dealer), etc etc.

It's pretty tricky. Some parts are considerably cheaper on one site but the minimum price for free shipping might be higher.

I'll vouch for RMEuropean as well. As VVF says, you have to check multiple sites... the price on parts can be very different. It is a pain, but one site can have a great deal on one item but not so great on another. RMEuropean has loyalty points as well. I buy a lot there and it does make a difference.

As you suspected, there are a couple of MB Dealers are getting into the online game as well. MBPartsWorld.com is a legit MB dealer in South Atlanta. Their prices are usually well below other dealers. They also have a good EPC with exploded diagrams. Very helpful for finding parts that are not as common. They will also have things that the other sites almost never have, like special nuts/bolts/adapters etc. MBWholesalePartsOnline.com is another. They are out of New York or New Jersey. I've found great prices there on some items, however, there's one guy that is running the online side of the biz and while he is very helpful... it is just one guy and sometimes things can take awhile.

I'll also vouch for RMEuropean. They've been great over the years.

If you need dealer parts, oediscountparts.com
which is actually a dealer in NC.
Tracy, the online sales rep is awesome,
They discount parts 25% off msrp, which is basically wholesale
and free shipping over $50.

And as mentioned for other stuff, rmeuro and autohaus az are good.
Just bought a Bremi MAF from rm euro and it's working great, and for
104 bucks shipped instead of the 250-350 for the VDO stock one.
And it got there in 2 days.
Funny, the company that turned me on to Bremi was fcpeuro on this site, but
they didn't stock the unit and I needed it sooner rather than later.
